Here's a six pack of wisdom - Exsiled_one - 11-11-2009
Dear parasites and other unskilled lazy players, WELCOME!
So it has been brought to attention of my brain (by me) that Cannon said how high mining yield is there to see if people will actually do something, or start to whine. And if they whine too much, and stay disorganized, that the prices of ore will certainly drop to affect that.
Hey, parasites, wake up already!
Listen john/perry/terry/miquel, here's how things stand. If the ore prices get lowered because of your whine, I will really lose all the faith in this community. Just because your parasitic leeching mind can't figure that point of this game is uniting with someone doesn't mean I have to suffer for it.
Whaaat?
Thats right you bastard, it's all your fault. Here's the deal. If you think escorts are expensive, you can get bent over and cry as I press this hard info on you.
Escorts are cheap as hell. I paid two GMG vessels to escort me from Okinawa to Penn and back 10million.
You know why? Because there were 5 of us. Hmmm... Lets put that on paper. 5 transports of average 4k plutonium selling for.. Well, lets just say 20k plutonium flew in Penn and we had 50million profit together. That's 2million each for the escort. Wow. Cheaper than paying two or three pirates huh? Lets not mention the 50million profit when we got back to Okinawa and sold whatever.
Gosh, but Escorts are useless Ivan.
No they're not you wimp! Escorts are awesome. Did you ever think about hiring one gunboat and one repair ship? Or heeey, just use your bots and dock to the nearest station. If your routes are even remotely in rp, there's very few stops where pirate can stop you and there's no base in 30k radius. Your goal isn't to "own" the pirates, get that in your head. Your goal is to actually survive. And guess what!? (WHAT OH WHAT MIGHTY IVAN?)
They even made a rule for escorts so they can flee! So even if pirates are annoying, a single arrow can stop two ships for cruising after you. That frikkin arrow doesn't even need a gun. It needs a train CD. Nuff.
Let's not even go into two gunboats with missiles escorting you. Trade bots, every trade ship has around 500. In crew of 3, thats 1500 bots / bats, god damnit, you can even take down a bomber with that.
And I won't even touch the subject of LN actually escorting me for free 100% of the times I requested it.
OH GEE it must be my reputation as Corsair pirate so they all love me, right? They wouldn't do it for you if you asked in rp and politely. Must be the racism.
"But Ivan! We trade alone, who can get 5 player convoys around?"
WELL BOOO FRIKKIN HOO, the game is made about interacting with others, not interacting with stations and goods until you earn for the Capital ship and then interacting with "Engaging". That's just SO wrong.
Look. Independent traders rule! Your profit is your own, you're smart, you can outevade alot of things, you can join other traders for 1 minute convoy etc.
But you also have penalties! Bit expensive escorts.
So shut it, and don't whine about escorts being useless anymore, because if they cripple the ORE prices they'll do it because of you! (cannon said so)
So because of few parasites that moan and whine about how things are stupid, the players who actually dare to connect with other people and try the organized rp will suffer. Grow a pair of... oranges, and stop whining and actually do something.
This entire thing applies to Ore as well.
*Disclaimer:
- We all trade alone from time to time, there's simply not enough player slots so everyone can convoy. But those that get pirated then don't complain usually.
If you found yourself offended by this post then, by all means, know this: It was written just for you.
- This post is fueled by: People that whine on forums without trying, people who whine because they're selfish, people who aren't even involved in discussions but do complain about everything. Thank you for your contribution to my fire.

This anti-whining rant was very meaningful, well done.

Good work there, all you said is true. Sadly thing are most willing to never fix and cannon will probably end lowering the prices...

Yay!
All hail the mighty Ivan!
Now, seriously. It was well written, but I guess stubborn people will go like "so what?".

but cryin nahhhh it will feed up your motivation to get better then those thiefs:D
P.S.

*claps to Ivan* Everything is Right!
Its sad to hear that the Prices for the mining will be Decreased, it will make things Harder and will be more hard to get Escorts without Profits
If the Prices Get to low it will not even be worth it the Danger of the Trip
I don't Like the "Freeport 7 Server" because of the too much danger in the Trips i was 3 times Dock Killed yesterday and 4 other Times in Trade Lane Disrupts by NPCs who dont RP and Just Shot and Disrupt Engines...

Well said.
And escorting is well worth it. I made as much over the weekend escorting ore transports - and, more importantly, enjoying it - as I would in a good hour or maybe two of horribly dull (for me. I dislike merely going from A to B. I dislike flying transports) trading.
